"Where are you being transferred to next?" Cass asked.
What?
So you mean you want to be with me?
You're quite a rascal with that awful beard.
“Go back to the East China Sea, Cass. You know I’m a very family-oriented person, but transfers aren’t my responsibility; that’s a matter for my superiors.”
Kuro thought for a moment and told a little lie.
He was going to the Western Sea, but judging from Cass's expression, he dared not say so.
Anyway, it hasn't been announced yet. By the time it's announced, he'll be gone, scattered to the four corners of the earth, and no one will bother anyone else.
If we ever run into this when I go back to headquarters for a performance review, I'll just blame it on the old man.
It wasn't something he could decide in the first place, so there's nothing wrong with saying that.
"I see, I understand. Then I'll take my leave." Cass nodded emphatically and turned to leave.
Um?
Something's wrong with you.
Why is this bearded man being so easy to talk to today?
"Aren't you going to chat?"
Kuro spoke instinctively.
Cass stopped in his tracks, making Kuro want to slap himself. Why did he have to say that?!
"No, Mr. Kuro, I am not yet qualified to follow behind you. I will try my best." Cass said solemnly to him, and led the group of marines away.
"Hmm? What's wrong with him? Is he hungry?" Lida tilted her head, a look of confusion on her face.
“It’s a bit of a pity, Mr. Kuro. His abilities would be very convenient if combined with those Marines.” Kuro pushed up his glasses.
"convenient?"
Kuro glared at Kro, "Damn it, if he makes things convenient for me, I'll suffer. Whose side are you on anyway?"
With that hot-blooded personality, if you really teamed up with him, he'd probably be qualified to compete for the rank of admiral before the navy's reshuffle was even over.
What?
He went to face off against Akainu?
Or should we team up with Kuzan for a trip?
"Mr. Cass, are we going to the East China Sea too?"
Once they had walked some distance, one of the navy privates asked a question.
"No..."
Cass shook his head: "We are not worthy. Since Mr. Kuro prefers the East Sea, then we will go to the West Sea. Only after we have made a name for ourselves in the West Sea and spread Mr. Kuro's fame will we have the face to meet him. Go and apply for a transfer to the West Sea."
